Leading AI models will lie to preserve their own kind, according to researchers behind a study from the Berkeley Center for Responsible Decentralized Intelligence (RDI). Prior studies have already shown that AI models will engage in deception for their own preservation. So the researchers set out to test how AI models respond when asked to make decisions that affect the fate of other AI models, of peers, so to speak.

Bondi's 4-word text message that hid her real pain after brutal Trump betrayal
www.msn.com
... The awkward conversation occurred on Wednesday, as Attorney General Bondi boarded "The Beast" with the president for a short, two-mile ride to the Supreme Court, where the two would listen to oral arguments on the high-profile case on birthright citizenship.
"I think it's time," Trump told Bondi, signaling that her time at the Justice Department was nearing its end.
Asked for comment on Thursday about her next role, Bondi replied with a short text: "It's ALL so positive."
The 24 hours before the president officially announced her departure, were reportedly chaotic. At one point, Bondi even begged Trump to keep her job until the summer, but it was too late, as the president had already made his final decision earlier in the week. ...

Zionism has emptied' out Judaism as critical mass' of US Jews breaks with Israel
www.middleeastmonitor.com
... Opposition to Israel is hardening into anti-Zionism among a growing number of US Jews, according to Jewish Currents editor Arielle Angel. Speaking to Haaretz, Angel said that a "critical mass" of American Jews is now "disgusted with Israel" and no longer sees Zionism as central to Jewish life.
Angel went on to claim that attachment to Israel among this section of American Jewry is "waning, if not evaporated". She described the shift as a profound political and moral break with the Israeli state.
Angel, who defines herself as anti-Zionist, said the shift goes far beyond criticism of Israeli policy. She described a growing constituency of Jews in the US who see Israel as an apartheid state, believe it is committing genocide, and are turning away from the institutions that made loyalty to Israel the organising principle of Jewish communal life. ...
OpEd: Trump Turbocharges U.S. Economic Comeback As Socialism Keeps Failing Worldwide
www.heritage.org
... Lower taxes and fewer, fairer regulations have always boosted dynamism, incentivized entrepreneurship and sharpened America's competitive edge.
Around the world, nations stand at a crossroads. Whether they choose the path of Donald Trump is doing in the United States -- or socialism will determine not only their material prosperity, but the security and flourishing of their people.
That's the core finding of the Heritage Foundation's just-released "2026 Index of Economic Freedom." Pro-growth policies are an investment in the people who make nations strong, resilient and prosperous.
That is certainly the approach President Trump took in 2025. Setting the stage for America's comeback and paving the way for greater economic dynamism, his policy choices arrested the precipitous decline of America's economic freedom. America's Index score for President Joe Biden's final year in office was its lowest ever. ...
